hello nairalanders

so I need the assistance from engineers in the field
I am an electrical engineering student and I have been advice on this very forum to take up a course in industrial Automation/instrumentation and control..

the recommended training centers are AETI and IIT ..and they run this trainings for no less than 600k..the fee other competitions charges are not far from that figure
I am now wondering if any engineer practicing the same automaton or instrumentation went through such route..

i have seen courses on Udemy but as a novice I dont know the proper brochure on the course automation hence I couldnt select any course to start with..
i also dont know if watching videos will do justice as i feel it a practical oriented course

the question is what is the advisable way to learning automation dat doesnt require spending a fortune and still guarantees me of learning all I need to..
and is learn automation or instrumentation and control really worth it?
